Bared their brains to Heaven under

Meaning

From the ancient days of shamanism to the modern world of hipsters, psychedelics have the traditional use of getting closer to the divine (whatever you take that to mean). For the beatniks, Heaven is purely spiritual, far removed from the bourgeois concept of Christianity, and can only be accessed through a radical exposure of the self (“bared their brains”).
